Welcome back! CGP is very pleased to present another issue of blood and guts, mayhem and ... tacos.
Blood & Tacos 3 includes a schwack of fist-pumping fiction from the legendary Stephen Mertz, along with Garnett Elliott, Todd Robinson, Chris La Tray and Rob Kroese. Like you couldn't have read that on the cover. We're also featuring a great article this month on the Cannon studio and four exemplary films from same and reviewing Doomsday Warrior (specifically book 9). Finally, have a look at our new feature, Cooking Like a Tough Guy.
Blood & Tacos is the brainchild of Johnny Shaw, screenwriter and author of the novel Dove Season: A Jimmy Veeder Fiasco. When he's not writing or teaching, he is usually in an undisclosed warzone working as the demolitions expert in the mercenary group, The Bushmasters. He also enjoys badminton.
Autorentext
Johnny Shaw was born and raised on the Calexico/Mexicali border, the setting for his award-winning Jimmy Veeder Fiasco series, which includes the novels DOVE SEASON, PLASTER CITY, and IMPERIAL VALLEY. He is also the author of the Anthony Award-winning adventure novel BIG MARIA, the heist novel THE UPPER HAND, and the crime extravaganza FLOODGATE.
His most recent novel THE SOUTHLAND is a departure from his usual comedic tone. It tells the story of three unauthorized immigrants in Los Angeles and the search for a missing boy.
His shorter work has appeared in Thuglit, Crime Factory, Shotgun Honey, Plots with Guns, and numerous anthologies. He was the creator and editor of the fiction magazine, BLOOD & TACOS, the former owner of the Los Angeles bookshop, Johnny's Used Books, and is currently the brainchild behind Johnny Shaw's Torn Pages.
